Operation Safe and Sound

Operation Safe and Sound (3 October 2016) was a US Army military operation of World War III which had the goal of protecting eastern Lithuania from the Russian Army. 4,500 Russian troops ran into 3,000 US troops that had been stationed in the Baltics as a part of Operation Atlantic Resolve, and the ensuing battle saw US armored forces and infantrymen defend the woodlands of eastern Lithuania against Russian armor and infantry. The US forces advanced on both the left and right flanks with armor and infantry, and the Russians were bottlenecked into advancing solely from the northwest, allowing for the Americans to concentrate their fire on the Russians as they arrived. The Russians lost 165 men and 3 vehicles, while the Americans lost 59 men and 8 vehicles; the battle temporarily halted the Russian advance.
